Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 813

Chapter 813 Zane’s Instigation

They wouldn’t have been barked at if it hadn’t been for the manager’s mistake.

If it wasn’t for Sonia, Toby would have incinerated them all with his flame of fury. The old Toby would probably have deducted their salaries for the month. It definitely wouldn’t have ended with a mere self-reflection.

We are all indebted to Miss Reed, everyone quietly cheered in their hearts at the same time. We’ll need Miss Reed’s help again if President Fuller gets mad at us.

Tody, who did not have the faintest clue about the thoughts going through the employees’ heads, lightly knocked his knuckle on the table. “Enough with that. We will continue the meeting.”

“Understood,” the crowd responded in unison before they started focusing on the meeting once more.

Sonia, on the other hand, had finished her breakfast at lightning speed after she placed her phone down. It took her only about 10 minutes to dust everything off.

After that, she stood up and made sure she looked presentable before she checked the time. She then picked up her bag and finally made her move.

It was around 8:30AM when she arrived at the gates of the courthouse.

Just as she was about to unbuckle her seatbelt and leave the car, someone suddenly knocked on her car window.

She turned to look and found a tall and big figure of a man dressed in casual clothes standing right outside her car. He had intentionally left the first two buttons of his top undone and she could see the sexy, manly collar bone that teasingly peeked through.

On top of that, he wore a necklace that completed his ‘playboy’ look.

And that person was Zane Coleman, the one supposed to meet up with Sonia.

Sonia rolled down her window and looked at the scantily-clad man. Then, the corner of her mouth began to twitch unconsciously. “Don’t you feel cold being dressed like this?”

The Zane whom Sonia knew from before was not someone who would rock this style of clothes. Sure, his personality was considerably flamboyant and bubbly, but when it came to his fashion sense, he didn’t dress all that different from Toby.

As someone who was always in a sleek business suit, his current fashion must have been greatly influenced by Charles, who would always have fancy prints or undone buttons on his clothes.

Sonia never thought there would come a day when Zane would turn into Charles 2.0.

Zane lowered his gaze to peek at the clothes he was wearing when he let out a bashful laugh as he fixed his collar. “I feel warm enough! How is it? Do I look good?”

Sonia opened her door and scrutinized him from head to toe before she gave an approving nod. “It is not bad. It is pretty chic, but why did you suddenly change your style?” she asked.

“I didn’t do it just to meet up with you. I had a business engagement last night. A few of the second generation officials from Westsanshire came and I as the Seaview’s Official Second Generation Top Dog would naturally have to welcome them. I even heard some first-hand information about Westsanshire,” he explained while he helped to close the car door behind her.

“Is that so?” Sonia simply replied without asking about the information he had learned about.

Alas, it was an old rivalry between the different cities’ officials, and she was but a mere businesswoman who had no right to stick her nose into such matters.

“Oh, right,” Zane exclaimed as he whipped out a blue file he had clasped between his arm and waist. “Here is the information you wanted.”

Sonia took it over, and as she flipped through the pieces of paper in the file, she could roughly see that it was filled with the personal information of the sperm donors.

She didn’t even take a closer look before she closed the file with a smile on her lips. “I’ll take a look later. It is about time. Let’s head into the courtroom.”

He had his hands comfortably tucked in the pockets of his pants when he suddenly mentioned, “Right, does Toby know that I will be attending the court hearing with you?”

Sonia seemed unbothered by his question as she continued to stride forward. “He doesn’t know. I didn’t tell him.”

“You didn’t?” Zane gasped in disbelief, his steps came to a slight halt.

He had planned to ask Sonia about the look on Toby’s face when she informed Zane about it. Zane probably would have had a good laugh, if it wasn’t for the fact that Toby had no idea the man was meeting up with Sonia.

Not comprehending his strong reaction, she turned to look at him and asked, “What is there to tell him about? It isn’t like it is something important.”

“What are you worried about?” she asked while lifting her eyebrow.

“I’m worried that he will lay his hands on you when he gets angry.”

She immediately waved her hands in denial. “That isn’t possible. Stop talking nonsense.”

Although she knew that Toby would be jealous about Zane sitting in on the court hearing with her, Toby would never direct that negativity to her. Zane would definitely be the victim of Toby’s wrath instead.

Even if he did end up losing his temper with her, he couldn’t possibly lay his hands on her, because she would otherwise break off their relationship with no hesitation.

“It is a hypothetical question.” Zane shrugged and continued, “He does have a pretty bad temper. What if he really lays his hands on you? You know how volatile he is! But me? I’m his complete opposite! I’ll always treasure you. Sonia, why don’t you break up with him and, maybe, consider me? Unlike Toby, my temperament has always been on the calm side. Don’t you feel insecure staying by the side of such an unpredictable man?”

After hearing his words, Sonia immediately glared at him and rebuked, “What the hell are you talking about? Toby is a great guy and even if he has a nasty temper, he has never shown me that side of him. You! I can’t believe you call yourself his friend, and yet here you are, talking smack about him and trying to drive a wedge between us!”

Upon saying that, she stomped at Zane’s foot with her high-heeled shoe and went straight into the courthouse without sparing him a second glance.

As he broke out in a cold sweat, Zane bent over from the excruciating pain in his foot.

He would have been hugging his leg and started hopping up and down if it wasn’t because he needed to watch his image at such a somber place.

It really was painful!

What a heavy-handed woman! He squatted and buried his face in his knees as he waited for the pain to subside.

It took him a few long minutes before he felt well enough to stand up again.

After taking in a deep breath to steady himself, he limped all the way into the courtroom and reunited with Sonia at the plaintiff’s table.

“I see that you still can walk,” Sonia hissed while giving him the side-eye.
